He is at the shop each and every week and gets a first hand look at what we bring out to run and how many of us that there might be in a specific class. From his first hand knowledge, Jeremy has identified FIVE CLASSES to kick off an on-road club race schedule. Now it is time for all of us on-road guys to put up or shut up. Pick one of the classes that are offered and get involved. That is all that I have to say.

See you at the finish line,

Then came all of the crazy rules and people weren't interested in having to buy all new motors and speed controls with no timing advance.

Just my 2c
we had a class of 7 racing in shreveport last weekend i dont think its dead. I see all kinds of flyers for national events as well. All i asked if anyone was racing them in texas didnt need sideswiped with your inner thoughts.

Just curious, I've been out of the scene for a very long time, used to race way back in the day when I lived in Houston the first time around, raced at Performance RC for those that remember the place, that's how long ago I raced, lol.

Anyways, I used to race offroad quite a bit and now I'm wanting to try my hands at onroad racing, what are the biggest classes to race at GC? I'd like to get into a class that has some decent amount of people, makes it more enjoyable.

Thanks for your interest and welcome back to Houston. Gulf Coast Raceway is not only the premier facility in TX but likely the country. The two largest on-road classes are 1/10th Nitro Sedans and 1/8th Nitro Open. Both classes will be covered in the club schedule as well as the SWCS. Give Jeremy a call at Mike's Hobby Shop, 281-577-8250.
